Recently I listened to All Time Low’s older album Put Up or Shut Up and I was really blown away by how their old music never ceases to impress me. I think that it is truly impressive that at such an immature point in their careers, …

Few bands have gone on to do anything after X-Factor but the four lads that call themselves JLS have done very well for themselves and their track, The Club is Alive, to me is what they are all about in away.
I do find it interesting that the main line …

As the front man of the popular Florida band Tabitha’s Secret and later of the more globally known Matchbox 20, Thomas performed very well. However, I feel that his most profound songwriting and performing ventures have been as a solo recording artist.
‘Smooth’ is a song with a slightly Spanish …

The Chainsmokers is definitely everyone’s favorite feel-good hitmaker right now.
